Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a subfield of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by performing actions in an environment to achieve certain goals. Unlike supervised learning, where the model learns from a labeled dataset, reinforcement learning relies on a system of rewards and penalties to guide the agent towards optimal behavior.

In reinforcement learning, the agent interacts with the environment in discrete time steps. At each step, the agent receives feedback in the form of a reward, which is a numerical value. The goal is to maximize the cumulative reward over time. The agent chooses actions based on a policy, which may be deterministic or stochastic. Over time, the policy is improved as the agent learns from the consequences of its actions.

Key elements of an RL system include:

• Agent: The learner or decision maker.
• Environment: Everything the agent interacts with.
• Actions: All possible moves the agent can make.
• Rewards: Feedback from the environment to evaluate the actions.
• State: A representation of the current situation of the environment.
• Policy: A strategy that the agent employs to determine actions based on the current state.

Important RL Concepts

• Value Function: Estimates the expected cumulative reward from a given state or state-action pair.
• Q-Learning: A popular RL algorithm where the agent learns the value of actions directly.
• Exploration vs. Exploitation: Balancing the need to explore new strategies and exploiting known successful ones.
• Temporal Difference Learning: Combines ideas from Monte Carlo methods and dynamic programming.

Distinguishing RL from Related Terms

Reinforcement learning differs from supervised learning, where the model learns from input-output pairs. Instead, RL emphasizes learning from interaction with the environment. It is also different from unsupervised learning as no explicit labels are available for reward feedback.
